I think you are talking about a subject that's completely out of your depth. WSB has always been about greed and making profit.

The so called revolution is just a halo that they attached to themselves so they can all look like heros. From an economic perspective, what they did is irresponsible and dangerous.

I agree with most of what OP said. It's just that some facts are harder to swallow in the current political climate of poor = good and rich = evil.
That’s the point of the article. It’s about relationships, not global warming.

Oh boy, yet another "actshually" filled with emotions that supposed to give "another view".

You precisely know what Emanuel and Lee mean when they quanyify that someone with 25 years is a greater loss than someone with 60 years. This emotional story about grandmother does nothing to change their statement.

Capability based security, for example was something that allowed you to run any program, with no danger to your system. It's not part of any common OS.

I know, I know. Norm Hardy was really good, his system, KeyCos, worked, and few could understand him. I used to know his "explainer", Susan Rajunas. We don't even have proper "rings of protection", like Multics, any more.

Although the real problem today is that we need to run programs with less authority than the user running them, and we still lack a good conceptual model for doing that. "Allow write to SD card" is far, far too powerful a privilege to grant.
Ivan Illich suggested having a system of credits for learning in his book Deschooling Society. Everybody would have a basic amount of credits to ask for help for his self-education. This amount will be more higher if you have a less privileged background. If you want more credits, you will have to gain them by educating other people.

Profanity matters. It motivates people. Not everyone has the time to attend your 1 hour TED talk. You tell them “FUCK WALL STREET” and you got a crowd ready to take down the traders. Publishing a position paper on the potential negative impacts of naked short selling while taking into account the views and interests of all stake holders ... cool. But you’re not motivating people with that.

By the way, FUCK Wall Street.

> All these needed significant participation from a lot of average people.

Yes, but in all those cases, average people were someone who already went though a lot of indoctrination/propaganda. And average person was also under considerable danger he she/he defects. Average person both believed a lot of ideology and also feared for himself/herself/family. The general leaders of those were powerful players who actively believed their ideologies.

The purges and gulags under Stalin were very from-top organized. They did not just impulsively went into it without planning. Instead, they made sure you have no realistic way to stop anything and that you do believe victims are the bad ones in the first place.

That being said, Holocaust itself happened mostly in occupied territories when the German army had pretty much perfect control over the place. The average person was not much of a player, the military organized and backed it basically.
Surely you mean "guessing"? What are you basing your estimate on? An estimate is based on metrics. You can't use that word "estimate" without at least citing what you base it on.

If you were to reach 2030 and things are alright climate wise, would you decide you are wrong, or pick another deadline? What is your criteria for deciding whether or not you should change your mind?
The timing is due to the insane influx of new users causing the server mods to completely lose control and trolls wreck havoc.

The subreddit did not go private due to the ban. You're reading too much into the headline. It depicts two separate events that are both caused by too many new users (too many new posts in the subreddit's case).
I know people who grew up with disabled relatives and I can assure you that insult is among the worse things you could use. Maybe those who use it don't think of themselves as bad persons, and "thats just the way language evolved", but if you use this word it shows that you never reflected on the other persons position. It tells me, you are either not the brightest bulb in the shed, unempathic or just mean.

So yes, depending on the context using retard as an insult is worse than many other things. It might not be to you, but so might have been the n-word a few generations before. Just because a lot of people don't get it, doesn't mean it is okay.

Edit: and now that you know that this insult might cut two ways (because you never know who has a disabled relative), you might also deem it less useful.

Do you mean why not have the method be global in the first place? That's fine for simple pipelines, not ones that need to be flexible and have some kind of reusable interface. And I personally find it a bit annoying if you have to switch between class methods and global ones jumping in and out of the class to understand what's happening.

It doesn't have as rich a history being used as a slur against people with intellectual disabilities.

Also, I was pretty mad. Even if we determine I am a hypocrite that doesn't necessarily make me wrong.
I struggle to see the story in the article except for this man being potential mentally ill. That level of obsession isn't healthy.

I’m not a finance expert, but the hedge funds could have bought GME stocks sometimes between opening their short position and closing it.

The short could have been naked when it was made, but there is nothing stopping the hedge fund from buying the underlying security ahead of the short position closing.

You can work directly at the keycode level, and watch the key up/down events. Many programs do, especially games.
Why exactly is it so difficult for some to stop using derogatory, ableist, racist, sexist, antisemitic and otherwise bigot language other than that they want to be exactly that?

We know the power of habits and we know that if you’re a user of the word “retard” in a derogatory sense, your very first thoughts when seeing an actual mentally challenged person won’t be positive.

If you’re not a bigot then stop using bigot language. It’s so easy there is no excuse.
I would love to learn more why you think this - I am sure you have good reasons!

Isn't Clojure in some significant aspects similar to Schemes?
> Capability based security, for example was something that allowed you to run any program, with no danger to your system. It's not part of any common OS. They had it at Xerox PARC, but Steve Jobs chose not to take that part.

For FreeBSD there's Capsicum(1) and for Linux, although the implementation is not strictly capabily-based, there's SE-Linux which depending on the usecase resembles capability-based restrictions.

Also, although not based around capabilities, Linux has supported them for awhile https://linux.die.net/man/7/capabilities

This is true, and both make a difference.

But worth knowing that the murder rate dropped, over centuries, to be extremely low around 1900 say. At this point medicine wasn't very useful at saving lives, and while guns (even machine-guns) existed, they weren't in the hands of every street-corner criminal.

So there was enormous real progress over the time-span separating us from the medievals. Trying to figure out the impact of modern medicine etc. is more relevant for trying to understand e.g. the rise & fall of crime since 1960.
Society is not as monolithic as you think it is. "as a society we" for sure have not decided that these words should not be used or that they are derogatory. Maybe this is true for your circle of friends or for the communities that you enage in but it is not true for the wider world.

We're slipping into some alternate universe where freedom of speech is being adjusted for our safety.

It's starting with noble causes, like stemming racism and hate speech. But this is one step into a land of control where divergent opinions will be cause for deplatforming.

This is dangerous.
There are ways to deal with that. For example, I’m not allowed to buy or sell my own company’s shares outside of specific trading windows, but index funds are fine as long as the company represents less than 10% of the fund.

Beyond them possibly being directly or indirectly involved on the (currently) losing end of GameStop stock, they may be worried about SEC paying attention to them. I personally think they're in the clear here, but maybe they aren't so sure.
This is a revelation to me. I lurk on WSB but never picked that up. Can you point to a few examples where someone explicitly used it like that?
Actually, I am not aware about Amazon, because I had never used their services.

Yes, there are several good alternatives available for AWS in the market. If you want to grow your business rapidly then you can go with DomainRacer.

I am using DomainRacer web hosting services from the last 1 year. DomainRacer provides the best services according to your requirement.

DomainRacer is a global hosting company and they provide services to you as per your needs.

So, I strongly recommended DomainRacer. Because it gives a reasonable cost.

That's not the point that the article takes issue with. Not the difference in time, which the author acknowledges is important, but the classification of those later years as being inherently less valuable than the younger ones.

What are you on about mate? This has nothing to do with my point about dictionaries.
> I've never once thought, in the WSB subreddit, someone calling another an "autist" or a "retard" was ever intended to harm or disrespect people with those literal issues.

What you said is purely annecdotal and it's a big assumption to think you know other people's thoughts and intents are.

Fact is they are popularizing hate speech to a growing audience and its not ok. Period.
Comparing a wedding to a terrorist attack on the United States Capitol is absurd.
I find the comparison between medicine and computer science very interesting! I have never thought about it this way.
Could you elaborate on how you „dig back“? Do you read old papers / books? I imagine that one would have to dig through much old stuff that just isn‘t interesting until you find something that could be really usefull (like capability based security).
Nah, that's not what happened.

This pertains only to the options chain expiring January 29th, i.e. in two days. You can still trade the stock, and you can still close positions you already have open, and you can still open and close positions expiring next Friday or any time after that.

RobinHood already doesn't allow you to open new options positions on the day they expire (0DTE). They would have suspended opening positions on the chain on the 29th anyways. All they did way move that date up to the 28th, one day earlier.

This is because trading options that close to expiry has a much higher likelihood of assignment (aka pin risk). This is a risk management strategy on their part, nothing more. Generally if you want to trade high-risk stuff like 0DTEs or 1DTEs on GME and AMC you should use a real broker, like InteractiveBrokers.

I was under the impression that the historical consensus is that it was an important stepping stone to building modern civilization and granting people the rights they enjoy today, but it was an absolute disaster for everyone who participated in the revolution itself.
Oh my god I hate censorship now.

But in all seriousness, if they are breaking the law they should be charged. If not then let these institutional investors clean up their own mess.
Nobody argued for zero fun-you-time in your life. Just watch the balance and keep your income higher than your expenses so you have some damn saving put aside just in case.
You are missing that economics is not science, and economists are, collectively, very carefully avoiding even considering the bulk of wholly predictable effects just because they have no way to incorporate them into their models.

You're witness to mass hysteria driven by a whole lot of profit motive, career posturing, and social signaling, with a touch of "some kinda/pretty bad stuff is gonna happen."

When I was younger—before the internet was in every home—I read articles about how the "information superhighway" was going to bring the whole world closer together. To my mind, that was analogous to a major city gone amok: unprecedented competition with everyone vying for attention.

One guy paints his sign on his window. The next guy lights up his sign. The next backlights a plexiglass sign. The next uses neon. The next blinks his neon. And so on.

It took some time, but we're about at the point of maximum stimulus on the internet. And so to compete, the messaging follows a similar pattern. And eventually some people believe what they read. And others believe what they write.

Those that believe what they write become desensitized. Those that believe what they read become indoctrinated. And you're left with this emergent characteristic of a chaotic system stuck in feedback loops.

What you read as overstated, others will read as gospel and damn you for underplaying the emergency. And they will try to shout louder than the next, because everyone is a storefront for something; profit, or power, or ego, or social status.

So what's an apocalypse?

Not global climate change.

The apocalypse is what you witness as you try to decipher and pick apart the insanity that has become not only the internet, but soon the whole of humanity.

The climate change cathedral had it right all along: we are the apocalypse. But they got wrong the cause.

The cause is not climate change. Or fascism. Or racism. Or even hatred.

The cause of our apocalypse is us, by virtue of our connected hyper-competition. The apocalypse is the "human superhighway."

A good solution probably looks like: Consortiums of EV-selling manufacturers form to build charging networks for that consortium's cars. Eventually cross-usage deals or mergers happen between networks of similar size and usage, until you get to the any-car any-network happy place in about 20 years.
Discord owns the server. They seem to agree with me?
Of course he lives in California, grows his own organic kale, his wife likes the anti-capitalist aspect of it and quotes Marx, and they both worry about fascism.

Right, create drama like saying billions of deaths, civilization collapse and nuclear war is imminent?

> Zane, the younger one, started doing his own regular, Greta Thunberg-style climate strikes in front of city hall. Braird, the older, meanwhile, was entering his teens, differentiating and waxing nihilistic. When asked what he wanted to do with his future, Braird said, “What future?” When asked what he thought about climate change, he sunk a dagger into his father’s heart like only a child can. Braird said, “I don’t really think about it.”

This part is just sad, terrifying his own kids to death.
I think it's becoming obvious that not being able to shut down bad communities is the lesser evil.
What do you mean? I have a 2020 LG OLED and I'm using all the apps built into it. It has everything - Netflix, Amazon, YouTube.....buying a separate device seems like a waste of money at this point. It's also very quick, I was setting up a Fire Stick Lite for someone couple months ago and I was surprised how slow it is compared to this TV.
> allowing that "the web" is just arbitrary 'stuff' at URLs

It's not. The majority is just textual content I want to read. Possibly with a few images.

I don't need Javascript for that. And being forced to use Javascript for it is the exact problem.

For the minority (something clever that requires user interaction beyond reading text and looking at pictures, this "non-standarized", maybe even "proprietary" stuff) Javascript is just fine.

But don't force me to use Javascript for the rest.
So mathematically, this is a pyramid scheme for the redditors. The people that buy at the inflated price fund the people who bought before them. The hope being that hedge funds will buy at the inflated price.

I also had a horrible thought, what if someone came in and bought short positions at inflated prices with his lunchbox money instead? Then that person is trying to wait out the redditors.

Wow. So many angles.

Too rich for my blood.

There's a lot of backwards and forwards in the comments. What I'd really like is to test my conjecture - could people post/email me a (< 500 line, ideally not deep library code) bit of code that they think is "so innately OO friendly that the conjecture won't hold".

Given some examples, I'll do a follow-up blog post.

I think it's more like if the name "amvalo" caught on as an insult, which meant someone had shit for brains. Both "amvalo" and "shit for brains" would then hold the same meaning, but only one of those terms would be a needless attack on amvalo.
I don't think people are talking about using slurs to describe themselves, but slurs to describe others.

The WSB folks are in a weird position where they're using slurs to describe themselves that don't actually apply to them (well, not as a whole; I imagine there are some autistic WSB members, just like there are in most populations). I'm bewildered as to why they think that's funny (or whatever justification they have for it), but it does strike me as potentially offensive.

It still fascinates me that everything goes back to having a pair or not. For me it’s not the profanity but where it goes back to that makes me pause.
Although this may have been a simple explanation for you, it brought a lot of insight for me. Thank you.

It's going to take out the fringes of many coastal cities. The US probably loses much of New Orleans and Miami. Some of the hotter spots on the planet will become unlivable. Those things have already happened. India and parts of Africa have the worst problems. As do some Asian cities with heavily populated river delta areas.

On the other hand, the northern tier of US states become more habitable. We get an ice-free Northwest Passage.
Perhaps you underestimate the total number of idiots on this planet.

The very reason of how words like "retard" evolve in the first
place is by people using those words outside of the standard
dictionary definition's meaning.

What I want to say is that just like there's a huge difference
in meaning between "this is shit" and "this is the shit", even
usually insulting words can be used in inoffensive ways(like
it's done on WSB) - and of course the other way around you can
call someone a "genius" and make it obvious you meant the exact
opposite.

Language is an incredibly flexible tool and every dictionary
definition or scientific description is an obsolete snapshot at
best.
Not sure how reliable it is but according to SA, 78% is owned by institutions https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/GME, the part owned by retail should be truly small. How this narrative of retail being in control is being pushed by the media is indeed very strange.
Those are entirely the wrong questions to be asking.
For some single source drugs the suppliers absorbed some of the subsidies, while others and generics were cheaper for consumers. It is unfortunate that sometimes customer facing subsidies get abused by single source suppliers.

> Is "my house, my rules" really so hard to understand?

People are waking up to the bait&switch the on-line platforms are. They do everything they say to pretend they're the public square, short of saying it, but when push comes to shove, they reveal themselves as private owners with an agenda.

What's doubly annoying is that governments worldwide decided to participate. When politicians' primary channel of communicating with their constituents/subjects is through Twitter, you could morally argue that it should be treated as public square. That one is on the politicians though.
> Josiah's videos about demystifying the COVID vaccine all got taken down, then the entire channel got shut down. Super disappointing move by YouTube. It was definitely one of my favorite channels for science education.

It seems from his twitter that he even left Oakland for Austin since December when that all went down.

But then look at how WSB was shutdown when it presented a real threat to the establishment. I think this is the same thing happening, but Josiah and the CDC were actually just informing people how gene therapies work in the most biohacker/biopunk way, which is near and dear to my heart for reasons I already explained.
SE-Linux is the worst possible way to secure a linux system, its like when Microsoft went overboard on warnings, instead of actually trying to solve the problem.

The main implementation difference in a capability based system is using a PowerBox to select files to give to a process, instead of letting the process access everything the user has rights to.
